Honors Program students are held to the University Core Curriculum and to the current college and school general education requirements. Honors Program courses fulfill some of these requirements in the following ways.

The University Core Curriculum requires all students to take CORE 1001 (a.k.a University Life) in their first semester. Honors Program students are grouped together in specific sections of University Life.

All students are required to take CORE 1101 (a.k.a. Journey of Transformation) and CORE 2101 (a.k.a. Christianity and Culture in Dialogue). The Honors colloquia incorporate the material of CORE 1101 and CORE 2101 over the course of the four semesters of the colloquia. Therefore, Honors Program students fulfill these requirements by completing HONS 1101-1102 and HONS 2103-2105.

The Core Curriculum requires all students to take ENGL 1201 and 1202, College English I and II. The first two Honors colloquia (HONS 1101 and HONS 1102) substitute for these courses.

In addition, the Honors Colloquia are recognized as equivalent to other required coursework.  The equivalencies vary, depending upon the College or School that houses a student’s major.  For a complete listing of how Honors Coursework relates to the major(so) you are considering, go to http://blogs.shu.edu/honors/honors-advising/
